Why read it?
1 author picked Penguinaut! as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Penguins are adorable! Used in children’s books, they are the perfect stand-in for children. In many cases, using a non-child character makes it easier for a child to enjoy the story without focusing on the message.

The subtle messages of self-esteem, friendship, and community play off each other in the climax (no spoilers!)
From Wendy's list on kids who celebrate being themselves.
